The paper introduces Dual-Embedding Watermarking (DEW), a semantic watermarking technique for large language models that combines contextual and token-level embeddings. DEW applies algebraic vector-space operations to generate a watermark signal that remains robust to paraphrasing and translation, while obfuscating the signal with pseudo-random matrices seeded by a secret key. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art robustness, especially against translation, with minimal computational overhead and preserved text quality at lower watermark strengths.

The paper demonstrates that N‑gram based code watermarking schemes, widely used to identify machine‑generated code, are ineffective when faced with realistic code obfuscation. By modeling semantics‑preserving transformations as a Markov random walk and introducing the assumption of distribution consistency, the authors prove that obfuscation can drive the failure rate of any detector to nearly 1 minus its false‑positive rate. Extensive experiments across multiple watermarking methods, LLMs, languages, benchmarks, and obfuscators confirm that detectors collapse to near‑random performance (AUROC ≈ 0.5) after obfuscation.

TTMark introduces a pairwise watermarking framework that extends distortion‑free watermarking from single tokens to adjacent token pairs, enlarging the watermarking alphabet from V to V². By watermarking the joint distribution of consecutive tokens, the detector can exploit both token entropy and conditional entropy while maintaining distortion‑freeness. Experiments on multiple language models and datasets show that TTMARK improves detectability, robustness to edits, and localized watermark detection without degrading generation quality.
